GLAZIERS POINT SETTER.

Application filed September 29, 1921.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALOYSIUS A. EISBAOH, a citizen of the United States, residin at Dubuque, in the county of Dubuque, S tate of Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Glaziers Point Setters; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in point setting machines and particularly to machines for setting glaziers points.

One object of the invention is to provide a machine of this character which is automatic in its operation to feed the points, one at a time, and to actuate a hammer or driving member against the point.

Another object is to provide a device of this character which is capable of being electrically driven and wherein the current is manually controlled. 1

Another object is to provide a device of this character wherein a rotatable means moves a hammer means in one direction and releases same to permit the hammer to be impelled by a resilient means against the point.

Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the point setting machine, made in accordance with the invention.

Figure 2 is a vertical longitudinal central sectional view through the machine.

Figure 3 is a vertical transverse sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Figure 1, showing the hammer operating wheel in elevation.

Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view taken on theline 4-4 of Figure 1, which passes through the magazine for the points.

Figure 5 is a prespective view of the outer end of the hammer used in connection with triangular pins, or points.

Figure 6 is a perspective view of the Serial No. 504,135.

outer end of the hammer used in connection with diamond-shaped points.

Figure 7 is a transverse section on the line 77 of Figure 4.

Referring particularly to the accompanying drawings there is shown a frame including the elongated tubular body 10 which serves as a hand grip for the hand of the operator. Extending upwardly and rearwardly from one end of the member 10 is a guardll, and formed on the other end of the body is an upwardly bowed member 12, the outer end of which is directed downwardly past the adjacent end of the body, and in spaced relation to said end. Depending from the ends of the body 10 are the members 13 and 14 respectively, and formed on the lower end of the member 13 is a horizontal forwardly and rearwardly extending base member 15, the lower side of which is connected with a block 16, formed on the lower end of the member 14:, by means of the tubular casing 17. A removable cover plate 18 is mounted on the upper side of the casing 17. Slidable through the block 16 is a stem 19, the same being partly disposed within the casing 17 and being normally impelled in a direction through the block, by a spring 20, mounted in the casing. The other end of the stem 19 carries a block 21, disposed to reciprocate between the block 16 and the lower end of the bowed member 12. Removably mounted on the lower face of the block 21, and extending horizontally beneath the lower end of the bowed member 12, isthe hammer plate 22, the outer or forward end of which projects beyond said member 12, and into the lower end of the point carrying casing or magazine 23, which magazine is mounted on the forward side of the outer vertical leg of the bowed member 12. Within this casing 23 is a receptacle 24, which holds the stack of points 25, said receptacle being removable. In diametrically opposite sides of the receptacle 24 are formed the longitudinal grooves 26 which receive the inwardly projecting lugs 27, formed on the inner wall of the casing, so that the said receptacle will not rotate within the casing. A spring pressed plunger 28 is di posed through the cover 29, of the casing 23, and rests on the upper end of the stack of points, The bottom of the casing 23 is open to permit the bottommost of the points to lie in a horizontal plane directly in advance of the forward end of the hammer plate 22. of the member 12, and extending beneath the lower end of the casing 23, is a chan neled plate 30, the side flanges of which partly embrace the side portions of the hammer plate 22 to guide the said hammer into and out of striking position with respect to the point.

Extending longitudinally through the tubular member 10, and mounted in suitable bearings 31, in the ends thereof, is a rotatable shaft 82, the rear end of which projects from the rear end of the body 10, and is provided with a drive gear 33 driven from a gear 3 1. The other end of the shaft 32 is disposed between the forward end of the body 10-and the downwardly extending portion of the member 12, and mounted on this end of'the shaft is a disk 35. ln the periphery of this disk there are formed the circumferentially extending, and curved fingers 36 and 37,

the same being directed toward each other and with their extremities spaced apart. The extremities of the lingers 36 and 87 are curved laterally in opposite directions, as clearly seen in Figure .2, of the drawings. Carried by the upper face of the hammer block 21 is an upwardly extending pin 38, carrying on its upper end a roller 39 arranged in the path of and adapted to be en'- gaged by the fingers 36 and 37, successively, as the disk rotates. It will be noted that the finger36 is curved laterally toward the roller 39 so that when the disk has rotated to a sufiicient distance to bring thesaid finger in contact with the roller, the block 21, and the hammer plate 22 will be moved back against the tension of the spring 20, and when the finger has moved past the roller, thespring will project the block and plate forwardly causing the plate 22 to strike the rear end of the lowermost point 25 and drive the same forwardly from beneath the stack in the magazine, and into the window frame.

Pivotally mounted on the lower face of the forward end of the body 10, and rearwardly of the member 14, is a trigger 40, a coil. spring l being connected to the trigger, forwardly of the pivot and to the adjacent end of the body 10. An l ..-shaped plate 42 has its horizontal portion disposed slidably through the member 12, and into the lower end'of the magazine 23, to engage beneath the second point from the bottom, for the purpose of holding the remainder of the sta -1r of points while the bottom one is being driven by the hammer plate 22. The vertical portion of the plate 42, is disposed for ldounted on the lower end wardly of the roller 39, and pivotally conneced to this portion of the plate is the forward end of a rod 418, which slides through th block 21, said rod being pivotally connected its rear end to the forward end of the trigger to the vertical link 44:. Thus, when the trigger is pulled by the finger of theoperator, the plate 42 will be moved out of the magazine to permit the next lower point to fall into position in front of the hammer plate 22.

Connected to the trigger is one end of a wire which. extends rearwardly through the body 10, and down through the rear member 81., to acontact socket l6, a similar wire, which extends through the body l0 having one end connected to a contact 47, adjacent the rear end of the trigger, for engagement thereby, and its other end connected to asimilar contact socket l8, adjacent the socket l6. l'nto these sockets 46 and 48 are adapted to be engaged the contact fingers of an electric connector plug (not shown).

.Pivotally mounted on the lower face of the rear end of the member 15 is a plate d9,-'the rear end of which is adjusted vertically by means of a nut 50 engaged on the upper end of the stem 51, which is carried by the plate and which extends upwardly through the member 15.

Each time the trigger is pulled rearwardly, a circuit is closed and the shaft 32 rotated to draw the hammer plate back and release the same to drive a point.
